NicktheNoob: A newly created outlook account also does not receive any of the forwarded e-mails.
Be advised that a hotmail account is worthless for using the wrapper, as of earlier this year.

Edit: Well, strictly speaking, the wrapper can load save game emails that are received by a hotmail account, but it is unable to send the save after you finish a turn. You'll have to manually send the save yourself each time.

Haha, this is really becoming somewhat of an issue, isn't it?

Any suggestions on which mail to use?

I switched from Hotmail to Gmail, and everything started working for me again. I seem to recall that Vitek uses something else, but he isn't in either of our countries, so I don't know if his email service is viable for you.

I did send the game from a hotmail account, so that could be the issue. I do not use the wrapper and just send them manually. I may switch to a gmail and restart it to simplify things.

If you send it manually, the next person's wrapper should be able to get it.

The wrapper just can't send it via hotmail. Before I switched to gmail, I ended up forwarding several turns that I had taken to the next player.

I misinterpreted your edit to mean that a file received from a hotmail account cannot be forwarded by the wrapper.

Vitek has asked to join the game, so I can remake it since we aren't even 1 full round into it yet.

Technically, we haven't even started. The more, the merrier, in my opinion.

No. The wrapper just can't use a Hotmail account to automatically send a completed turn to the next player. Everything else seems to work fine.

You do realize that Nick has not figured out how to make the wrapper work, right?

First of all I'd like to say: Merry Christmas to all! :)

Secondly: Sorry guys! Just tried to start the turn on my old laptop.
On my Outlook account it now throws an error: [i]Unable to read data from the transport connection. A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond.
[/i]

I think it best you guys start the game without me. ;) It will be fun to spectate the replies in any case.

~May the best creature eat all!
